Kaieteur News- Dem boys seh some of dem police in Guyana done lose dem marbles this time. Instead of chasing down real criminals or tackling the daily chaos on the roadways, dem boys seh the police now playing “Bicycle Patrol.”
Yes, you hear right! They pulling in bicycles left, right, and center for “various defects,” including not having brakes. But wait nah, dem boys seh if we gon talk about brakes, half the police vehicles on the road need to be pulled in too. Some of dem police cars does sound like they running on prayers and duct tape, and others does drive like they forget brakes even exist. But nah, is the poor pedal cyclists who getting ticket.
Dem boys seh this is the ultimate case of misplaced priorities. Instead of going after the big fish—like the drivers who treat cycle lanes like their personal parking lot or the ones who tint dem windows darker than midnight—the police decide to harass the man on the bicycle who just trying to get home safe before some speeding car or bus run him off the road.
Dem boys seh the cyclists barely have space to ride as it is, with cars and trucks squeezing them off the road like they invisible. But instead of fixing that, the police decide to make life harder for the little man. Priorities, people, priorities!
Dem boys seh if the police really want to do something useful, they should start with the drivers who does overtake in the cycle lanes like they in a Fast & Furious movie. Or how about them drivers who park in the cycle lanes like it’s a private garage? And don’t even get dem boys started on the tinted vehicles. Dem boys seh some of them cars so dark, you can’t tell if the driver is a human or a shadow.
Dem boys seh this country gat plenty laugh, but sometimes the joke does get old. Instead of wasting time on bicycles, the police should focus on the real issues that make the roads unsafe for everyone.
But hey, dem boys seh maybe this is all part of a bigger plan. Next thing you know, they’ll be pulling in donkeys for not having headlights. Only in Guyana, folks. Only in Guyana.
Talk half. Leff half.
